Cheap receiver with bluetooth for a basement stereo

[ghost recon88]

Anyone know of a decent receiver that has bluetooth support, but isn't some home theater quality receiver? Basically I've got a home gym in my basement and have two speakers down there I would like to hook up without spending a fortune. Cheap Sony and Yamaha receivers seem to start at $150, and those don't include any BT functionality.

Have you looked at 2-channel bluetooth stereo amplifiers? If you just have two speakers, and if the speakers are not very high end, that might just work, here's an example -

Hadn't seen that yet, but based upon the reviews it sounds pretty poor and likely to break. Maybe I need to look around the 2nd hand market receiver some.

Not BT but accomplishes (I think) what you are looking for = Sonos play 1.

Be warned, you may get hooked.

Sonos are wi-fi speakers, OP says that he needs amp, already has speakers, plus the price tag of Sonos is off the charts...

OP you can but a bit more expensive, better quality Bluetooth Stereo amps, just search around, I am sure for $150 there will be more choices. Used receivers, cheaper ones may not have Bluetooth, again you will run into some problem. If you have future plans to have more than 2 speakers then a AVR makes sense, otherwise a stereo amp is a better way to go imho.
